Hi all!

Did get this message in my log:
> May 12 21:07:12 fw inetd[30064]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow,
line 23: host name/name mismatch: hosting-90.120.rev.fr.colt.net
!= everlund.homeip.net

What do trigger this message? Looking only at the equivalence;
hosting-90.120.rev.fr.colt.net != everlund.homeip.net, that
the "visiting" host is different than my domain, I would get
this message from every "visiting" computer, but I do not.

Do the message imply a security threat, or nothing bad has
really happened, or bad things can happen out of this?

Depending of what triggers it, can I change anything in
hosts.allow to stop those hosts that fire up these warnings?

Thanks in advance for all the help I can get on this matter!

Best regards,
Paul
